I'm an RN with bipolar, adult ADD, PTSD, PAD, schzio effective disorder, the most important thing we can do for ourselves is educated ourselves on our illness and medications, ask questions,don't just take a pill because a doc says so, ask why and what side effects or reactions it will have with other meds. personally i think klonopin is a much better medication than valium, it is longer acting and maintains an even level in your blood system than valium and other anti-anxiety agents.
I take adderral 20mg 3x/day - adult ADD
topomax 400mg 2x/day - mood stabilizer/racing thoughts
klonopin 2mg 2x/day - anxiety/panic attacks (2nd dose I take @ nite)
geodon 80mg 2x/day antipsychotic (controls anger sometimes I take both doses @ night because u have to take it with food for it to work and I only eat after i take my night meds)
remeron 45mg @ night - antidepressant also used for sleep

this combination finally works for me for the first time in 8 years.
